Better support for N-dimensional data

Description (last modified by crueden-x)

Eliminate IFormatReader.getChannelDimTypes and IFormatReader.getChannelDimLengths, in favor of more comprehensive getDimTypes and getDimLengths methods, which return all used dimensions in correct rasterization order.

  • OME dimensions include: X, Y, Z, C, T
  • Examples of non-OME dimensions:
    • lifetime bins
    • excitation wavelength
    • polarization
    • screen
    • plate
    • well
    • field

Advantages:

  • fully capable of expressing N-dimensional image data
  • allows for XZ scans and other spatial configurations
  • eliminates the need for DimensionOrder? and Interleaved core metadata

Work to do:

  1. Rework ChannelSeparator? a little
    • It should always "pull" XY to the front
  1. Rework DimensionSwapper?; it is more complex now
  1. Rework DataBrowser? to use new methods, displaying extra sliders as before
  1. Rework FileStitcher? and AxisGuesser? a bit
    • Guessed axes become new dimensions
  1. Change anywhere else that calls getChannelDim* methods
  1. InCell? reader can be retrofitted to use this new functionality
    • Certain other readers can benefit as well: Flex, Fluoview, ...
  1. Initially, conversion to OME-TIFF with bfconvert should throw an exception if any dimensions beyond 5D exist, since there is nowhere in the OME-XML schema to store the extra dimensional information
